The previous chapters explained how to produce reports using IBM's SMF records and/or CA JARS Account/History records as input to the Report Writer. The Account/History records are by nature, of a fixed length. Therefore, when IBM expands the information contained on existing SMF record types and/or adds new SMF record types, a methodology must be provided which enables CA JARS to report on these new metrics. The methodology which supports this process is referred to as the EXTDATA (EXTended DATA) process and is described next.
